In all seriousness, he says being recognized for the award a half-dozen times in a row is the mark of consistency.

“We strive for that in our field — just like the athletes we cover,” Beck tells FishbowlNY.

Beck has been the face of sports on Channel 4. This past year, he once again was the station’s lead reporter at the London Olympics.

While Beck has been at every major sporting event for WNBC, he doesn’t have to go far to find his lifeblood.

“I love covering the New York sports scene. There is always a game — always a story,” Beck says. “It’s compelling and challenging every day. With nine local teams to cover in the four major sports – your heart never stops pumping. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Beck also hosts the Sunday night Mike’d Up, the title is a remnant from when Mike Francesa ran the program.
